Wed, October 16, 2013

Polls opened Wednesday in New Jersey for the U.S. Senate special election between Democrat Cory Booker and Republican Steve Lonegan. Despite the highly publicized tweets to a Portland stripper, Booker was supported by Obama in a campaign ad Monday and is confident of an impending victory. "This is the only election in America right now where we will get a chance to make a statement about what's going on in Washington," Booker claimed.
